Today, we remember the grace of God made flesh – Jesus the Christ – given as gift and food for the journey. The Church remembers with praise, procession and gratitude. However, do we really “get it”? Do we fully realize the impact and response that this bread and wine, this Body and Blood covenant, should have in and on our lives?

The celebration of Corpus Christi at St. Brendan’s Church, Midwood, centered around the parish complex. Following Mass, a procession moved outdoors to the courtyard where a special altar was set for adoration.

Father Dwayne Davis, the newly appointed administrator of St. Thomas Aquinas parish, Flatlands, bore the monstrance as the Corpus Christi procession made its way through the streets of the neighborhood.
